He’s furniture, he’s the one who’ll be commanded, he’s the one who should be ashamed of his status (he’s naked), he’s the one who’ll be used and then, rejected (she let him be eaten by the goats because he’s not a satisfying enough furniture), forgotten.
It’s empowering without any risk and any harm. In a fantasy scene she becomes able to do what she would never be able to do in real life. It’s all a game, it’s not real so ‘it’s fun’.

Plus Battler, having surrendered, isn’t the detective anymore.Īs the scene is fantasy, Beato can have for it the same approach she has for murder in her games. In fact in the manga we’re told that people can see Golden Butterflied half a hour before their dead.Īs Golden Butterflies are fantasy this likely applies to every fantasy scene as well. The scene is clearly a fantasy scene happening on the gameboard, one that involves pieceBattler and that he can lives because he’s about to die in less than half a hour (Battler is summoned by Genji to meet Beatrice at 11:30). So… what about the scene in which Beatrice makes Battler submit? Then there’s Beatrice’s rant about Shannon longing to sleep with George, which is a way to hint to Sayo’s physical problems and to her fear to be rejected… just to name the most popular three. Other viewed Kanon commenting how the wound given to him by the stake left him with a hole as a parallel to how the horrible wound he suffered due to the fall off a cliff damaged his genitals. Now let’s try and analyse the thing from a Watsonian point of view.Įp 2 has various other scenes that can be interpreted as having sexual connotations, not just this scene and some had been considered as hints.įor example some interpreted the scene in which Kanon pulls out his blade, which he didn’t want to show Jessica and that ‘can’t even be used to trim the roses’ and Jessica ends up being staked by Asmodeus, as the fantasy interpretation of ‘Jessica asking physical comfort from Kanon, discovering the truth about his body and being killed due to it’. If we gave to the whole thing a Doylist interpretation, every sexual connotation is there for us to ‘enjoy’ it (sadly I’m among the ones who don’t enjoy them much but maybe it’s just me). …so a part of Umineko sexual connotation exist solely for the readers’ benefit and it was even thouroughly abused in the illustrations done fot the anime…Īlso note that in the Pachinko game, among the scenes they chose to animate there’s the one in which Battler tried to grope Shannon and the one in whcih he tried to grope Jessica, with two possible endings for both… (they also had him almost grope Kumasawa).Īs a result it’s hard to say what’s put in just for the readers’ benefit and what’s there because the story NEEDS it. In a tip Battler will remark how Erika’s pervert nature works to interest the readers… Umineko is filled with sexual connotations, it even have Erika refer to herself as an ‘Intellectual rapist’, even if there are no hints she had problems with her body or suffered sexual abuse.
